Abstract
Tineabarbae is a rare form of dermatophytosis that affects hair follicles of the beard and moustache. Dermoscopy could prove useful to identify parasitism of hair of the beard, just as it has proven useful in the diagnosis of Tineacapitis. We present the first fully documented case series of T. barbae with clinical, dermoscopic and mycological features.
